The first variation, shown in the photos, has 24 orange plastic trestles that have tapered bases. Included in that package were a package of 26 #693 Track Locks and an instruction sheet. The second variation produced in 1953 has 26 black plastic trestles that also have tapered bases. The third variation, also produced in 1953, has 26 black plastic trestles with straight bases.
